How I Customize My Planner || Frankenplanning || The Happy Planner

[@bestlaidplans2024]

I love how flexible disc planners are. You can always meet your own planner needs

[@ScrappyWife]

Yes to this!!

[@wespreadlove]

It meant so much to me to see diverse women represented in your personal journal. Thank you 🙏. It was moving to see. ❤

[@ScrappyWife]

I'm so glad! Thanks so much for hanging out and watching!

[@DebbieWarnkeHale2015]

Thanks so much for sharing all you share for free. I’m on a low budget and you are like me save all my Happy Planner. Now you’re giving me some inspiration and ideas to recycle a goal I planned for over 20 years with mini planner and classic planners and now I’m using a different layout and not happy with the layout. My budget can’t afford a new classic planner so you’re showing me what I can do to improve my overall productivity by watching videos from you recycling videos. I have over 24 years of supplies to recycle. Thanks so much for all your suggestions and advice and ideas.

[@pitterpatti1958]

Really well done! If only HP would put the Currently Page inside the applicable month, our lives would be so much easier! ❤

[@ScrappyWife]

Oh, that would be so cool!

[@BerniceHopper]

I used my currently pages in 2022 as memory pages for the month eg the november currently page had photos of key things in October.

[@ellieplanit]

I agree completely!!

[@CH_1]

Love that you aren't trying to be perfect and just thinking, deciding, doing fast. Gives us permission to just have fun with it.

[@ScrappyWife]

Yes, totally! Have fun with these types of projects, because creativity is meant to be enjoyed...

[@juanitaweston6131]

Looks great dear friend. Praying for a wonderful year ahead for you and yours

[@ScrappyWife]

Same to you Juanita!

[@lynnmorin9771]

I love how you personalized with stickers and your vision board and I like all that. . I’ve been using a planner for many years I never really did anything like that, so I got myself some stickers and started playing in my planner. I am liking this a lot. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@ScrappyWife]

I am so glad you are enjoying the decorative part...it can be a really great creative outlet that brings you back to your planner over and over!

[@callieannbrat]

Good Morning!

[@mzlyzs9863]

Really enjoyed this. So many ideas for 2025

[@ScrappyWife]

So glad!

[@ellieplanit]

Your lettering is so lovely! My name is Elisa, too. I don’t know many other people with the same name, so I get excited whenever I see that name written somewhere 💖

[@ScrappyWife]

Yay for another Elisa!

[@Fun.After50]

Now this is a true Frank-n-Plan planner. 👍🏾

[@ScrappyWife]

Hehe, yes, it has all the things in it!

[@janetwallace7630]

Love all of your personal touches. Can you share where you got those small paper clips. I was looking on Amazon but got overwhelmed, lol.

[@ScrappyWife]

Those are actually from Felicity Jane.

[@shellibass6599]

I love how you used the Beloved Society Girls!

[@ScrappyWife]

Thanks! They are my favorite for sure!

[@laurenrow6809]

I wish hp still made the memory page protectors in classic size. I have big and mini but need the classic like yours ! 😢

[@ScrappyWife]

I wish they did as well!

[@MsTsumka]

Love how you used the pretty ilustrated faith girls can you do a video on using cricket to cut dividers

[@ScrappyWife]

[@ChristieAmber]

Love how you’ve mixed in the planning pages and your own personal touches.

[@ScrappyWife]

Thanks! It really makes it personal for me!

[@cmarie6962]

Love all of your embellishments. Your nail polish is also cute. Those✂️ fussy cut so well. Thanks for sharing.

[@ScrappyWife]

Thank you so much!

[@thequitassentiallife9]

Very nice! You gave me great ideas 😊

[@ScrappyWife]

I'm so glad!

[@veronicabradley8434]

Thanks for the tips. I love the way you added special pages to transition into new sections. I never had a word for the year, but you inspired me to use SPIRITUAL…because it covers parts of my life I need to have God in. Continued Blessings to you and your family for the new year.

[@ScrappyWife]

That is a fabulous choice for your Word of the Year!

[@SusieK]

Oh, I never thought about adding in picture pockets. That is a nice idea. I'm new to planning. Trying to get a feel for what I like, I like the personalization of pictures!

[@ScrappyWife]

Yup, always fun to see your favorite people (or pets!) when you open your planner!

[@vivianmorgan7071]

Love your ideas for personalizing my planner.

[@ScrappyWife]

Glad you like them!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Very nice, thank you for sharing all the ideas and tips.

[@ScrappyWife]

You are so very welcome!

[@happymeonabudget9246]

Thank you for the lovely ideas, I am working on an outdated HP for my budgeting this year and customising it as best I can 😀. New subbie here Elisa and Happy New Year 💐

[@ScrappyWife]

Welcome! Working in outdated planners is such a great way to give new layouts a try and to save a little money as well. I hope it works well for you!

[@irisn3188]

Nice! Thanks for the ideas!

[@ScrappyWife]

No problem!

[@ashplans4]

Nice set up. Tip regarding the label maker: if you print all your words at once you waste less of the tape inside because you’re not cutting off as much excess.

[@ScrappyWife]

Great tip!

[@sharonoconnor9290]

So inspirational, will be copying a lot of this. Where did you get your paper clips

[@ScrappyWife]

They are from Felicity Jane

[@michellechannell1219]

Such a pretty set up. I have my planner set up right now for the first quarter, but I like the idea of everything for one month instead of two planners.

[@ScrappyWife]

It is a lot in one planner, but I am hoping that it will work well for me!

[@annsmith5625]

Really nice, the photo pockets was a huge success!!⚾️

[@ScrappyWife]

Yes it was!

[@SuzyTaylorOakley]

@ScrappyWife Elisa, you don't have a link to your Fiskars paper trimmer in the description box. I've been trying to find it online; my Hobby Lobby today didn't have the exact one you show in this video, so a link would be awesome!

[@ScrappyWife]

Here you go - amzn.to/3Gz0s3U

[@mirandascriven6623]

Question. I wanted to make my own dash boards versus buying them on Etsy. Would I print on 8.5 * 11, then cut to 7 *9.25. I can’t seem to get the size right. I think I need to cut the excess off first. Then cut to size. Trying to spend less money on Etsy when I have the equipment

[@ScrappyWife]

You can size them down before printing, depending on the image you are using.

[@adinamcafee8546]

How do you start using the we r memory planner disc punch. Thanks

[@ScrappyWife]

There is a guide that helps you line up the holes in the correct place. Also, I sometimes use another happy planner page as a guide.

[@sewingmama8460]

Question: I currently use a bound B5 dot grid planner. I love being able to set it up for what I need however, I can’t add or move pages easily. I’m not “hard” on my planner but it has fallen out of the car and ended up at the bottom of a bag. I’ve considered changing over to a Happy Planner. I worry about the discs coming loose and all the pages coming out if it is dropped or snagged on something inside a bag. I would love to be able to add a page to the planner and then be able to move it to the next week/month. My planner doesn’t sit on a desk all day. It travels all over with me. Will it hold up and discs/pages not come loose?

[@ScrappyWife]

I have actually never heard of anyone having an issue with pages randomly falling out of the disc system, so I don't think that is something to worry about. As far as protecting the planner when you are out and about, there are lots of different planner covers around that would be good protection without getting too bulky!

[@wendysmith8298]

I know you have told us before, but what crop-a-dile are you using to punch the page for a HP?

[@ScrappyWife]

It is the we-r-memory keepers disc punch!

[@jenntonakSA]

Do you have a Cricut file for the dividers?

[@ScrappyWife]

I do not. I just welded two rectangles together to set them up, and then used a separate disc punch for the holes.

[@jenntonakSA]

@@ScrappyWife Oh that's easy! Thanks!

[@lauryshattock3471]

What pages do you use for your meal planning?

[@ScrappyWife]

I use an old block pad for meal planning from the Happy Planner.

[@BerniceHopper]

You might find the book by John Maxwell: Intentional Living interesting

[@ScrappyWife]

Oh, I very much enjoy him. I will add that to my list!

[@JESUSISSAVIOR210]

Printer name?

[@ScrappyWife]

What kind of printer are you referring to? Most things are linked in the description box!

[@JESUSISSAVIOR210]

​@@ScrappyWife the label maker

[@lynetteplans7974]

I like your set-up. I finally set my planner up today. I need to get some dividers and possibly cut the month off of some sections. 🫢 Thanks for sharing your set-up. 💖

[@ScrappyWife]

Sounds great!
